Chapter 310: The First Dao Artifact!

In the Yuhua Tiangong, Elder Tian Xing handed the treasure tower to Fang Yu: "This tower has now transformed into a Low-Grade Dao Artifact. Cherish it well. Bring glory to our Yuhua Sect. As for us, we must rest now."

"Thank you, three Elders!"

Fang Yu took the Xuantian Zhenmo Tower, sensing its overwhelming power, and felt immense joy—he finally had his very own Dao Artifact!

Dao Artifact, Dao Artifact—it's a magic treasure that has attained the Dao, exceedingly rare. Fang Yu already possessed three Top-Tier Magic Treasures, one High-Grade Magic Treasure, and five Mid-Tier Magic Treasures, but not a single Dao Artifact.

Finding a divine opportunity outside to obtain a Dao Artifact was clearly difficult for Fang Yu, so he relied on his second fortune—the benefits from the Five Elements Region—to plan his path: first acquiring a Top-Tier Magic Treasure, then elevating it into a Low-Grade Dao Artifact.

The process was slightly tedious, but Fang Yu had finally obtained his first Dao Artifact.

This tower possessed terrifying power; when Fang Yu's magic power seeped into it, he discovered that even without activation, the Low-Grade Dao Artifact generated two million Xuan Huang Mare Powers—twice his own magic power.

His current magic power was one million Xuan Huang Mare Powers. To possess one million Xuan Huang Mare Powers at the Heavenly Man Realm was unthinkable, since most Golden Core experts possessed only tens of thousands to one million Xuan Huang Mare Powers.

The most ordinary Heavenly Man Realm expert possessed ten thousand Mare Powers; such an ordinary expert might reach one hundred thousand Xuan Huang Mare Powers upon reaching the Return to Oneness Realm, and from Return to Oneness to Golden Core, magic power typically increased to between five hundred thousand and one million.

Now, even without activation, this Low-Grade Dao Artifact generated two million powers; once activated, it could unleash five to ten times that power—reaching the legendary ten million or even twenty million Xuan Huang Mare Powers.

This was the terrifying nature of magic treasures.

To kill across realms and challenge beings of higher cultivation was nearly impossible without a magic treasure.

In the Eternal Life Realm, magic treasures, if used well, could utterly defeat immensely powerful enemies.

"Younger Brother Fang Yu, congratulations! I never expected that a single journey outside would grant you such a tremendous opportunity—you've even convinced an Elder to forge you a Low-Grade Dao Artifact. Congratulations indeed! Even I don't possess a Dao Artifact. Your strength now, I suspect, would leave even Golden Core experts powerless against you."

Jiang Lan's voice came from nearby.

Elder Tian Xing and the other two Elders had labored for ten full days deep within the Yuhua Tiangong, crafting the Low-Grade Dao Artifact for Fang Yu—this news had spread throughout the entire Yuhua Sect.

"Sister Jiang Lan, I did indeed encounter some rare fortunes on my journey."

Fang Yu smiled and descended with Jiang Lan onto Jiang Lan Peak. His gaze swept downward and landed on a white-gold immortal crane.

He had ridden this crane before—it was the leader of the cranes under Fang Han's care, which had escorted him several times during his Physical Body Secret Realm stage.

Now, this crane was magnificent and immensely powerful; with a single flap of its wings, storms and vortices formed in the air.

With Fang Yu's eyes, he could plainly see the crane had reached the 10th Stage of Physical Body, Realm of Transformation—on the verge of becoming a spirit, clearly well-nurtured in these days.

"Isn't this the crane raised by Younger Brother Fang Han? On Jiang Lan Peak?"

Fang Yu saw the crane, waved his hand, and smiled.

"Younger Brother Fang Han is training in the Gui Xu Region, so he entrusted the crane to my Jiang Lan Peak. He also has another companion, Princess Hong Yi, who is also cultivating here on my Jiang Lan Peak."

Jiang Lan spoke.

Jiang Lan's gaze turned to a red-robed girl cultivating nearby.

The girl was Princess Hong Yi, whom Fang Yu had seen several times before; her cultivation base had now reached the peak of Realm of Transformation, just one step away from the Divine Ability Secret Realm.

Of course, that one step might take an unknown length of time.

"Greetings, Sister Jiang Lan, Elder Brother Fang."

Princess Hong Yi bowed immediately upon seeing Jiang Lan and Fang Yu arrive.

"Mm."

Fang Yu nodded.

"It's a pity our sect's Human Grade Top-Tier elixir, the Foundation Establishment Elixir, is hard to refine. It requires vast quantities of herbs and pure spiritual Xu Yuan Qi. If Hong Yi could take the Foundation Establishment Elixir to cultivate, stepping into the Divine Ability Secret Realm wouldn't be difficult."

Jiang Lan shook her head.

Currently, the Yuhua Sect's disciples consume Jing Yuan Elixir and Grain Grain Bigu Elixir as food—both Human Grade Mid-Tier and Human Grade Low-Tier, respectively. Their potency is average, yet still exceedingly rare; only inner sect disciples receive rations. Hundreds of thousands of outer sect disciples must eat communal meals at the Jade Kitchen Hall.

This shows how stingy the Yuhua Sect is—no one knows how Elder Tian Yao gathers elixirs, not even a single Human Grade High-Tier Bai Yang Elixir.

"I don't have many Human Grade Top-Tier Nascent Soul Elixirs, but I have no shortage of Human Grade High-Tier Bai Yang Elixirs. Younger Sister Hong Yi, take these and consume them."

Fang Yu casually moved his hand and bestowed five hundred Bai Yang Elixirs—each plump, large, and richly infused with essence.

"This—thank you, Elder Brother!"

Princess Hong Yi's face flashed with shock, then joy as she accepted the five hundred Bai Yang Elixirs.

She had no reason to refuse now—these five hundred Bai Yang Elixirs would greatly increase her chances of entering the Divine Ability Secret Realm.

"Elder Brother Fang is truly wealthy—he just gifted five hundred Bai Yang Elixirs as if they were nothing."

On Jiang Lan Peak, a true disciple girl's face showed astonishment.

Fang Yu's gaze swept over her and saw this true disciple girl—her eyes emerald green, faint green flames flickering—she cultivated the same "Bi Yan Qi Xiu Mang" as he did: a fire-based Divine Ability, yet her realm far surpassed Jin Shitai's; she had already forged Daoist Gang Qi, a 3rd Stage of Divine Abilities expert.

Beside this girl were two other true disciple girls cultivating—one whose magic power was thick as earth, majestic as mountains; Fang Yu knew she cultivated the Mountain Shaping Gang Qi, and had reached the Yin-Yang Realm.

The other true disciple girl radiated sharpness; her eyes often flashed with swordlight—she cultivated the Great Freedom Xuan Jin Sword Qi. Her cultivation base was slightly weaker: True Qi Realm, 2nd Stage of Divine Abilities.

"Five hundred Bai Yang Elixirs mean nothing. On my journey, I acquired many Five Elements treasures—I'll lend you three younger sisters a hand."

Fang Yu stepped forward, casually moved his hand, and three Five Elements treasures appeared—each formed by crushing a Five Elements beast directly into a precious artifact, richly infused with Five Elements essence.

"What? Elder Brother Fang actually obtained such treasures?"

"What is this rare treasure? It radiates such intense Xu Earth energy—Elder Brother Fang truly intends to give it to me? If I obtain this, I can perfect our Yuhua Sect's Mountain Shaping Gang Qi!"

"And this piece of Geng Metal Divine Iron—so precious! If I refine it, I can immediately break into Gang Qi Realm!"

The three girls had just been envious of Fang Yu's gift of five hundred Bai Yang Elixirs to Hong Yi, but now they saw their Elder Brother Fang bestow upon each of them a Five Elements rarity—fire, earth, and metal treasures—extremely rare, capable of instantly aiding them to elevate their realms and perfect their Divine Abilities.

Even Jiang Lan's face showed surprise.

"Younger Brother Fang Yu actually obtained such precious Five Elements rarities—if auctioned outside, each would fetch a million Bai Yang Elixirs. Elder Brother Fang just gave them away—I never expected this."

Fang Yu's expression remained calm, with a faint smile. "These are trivial trinkets. On my journey, I found a vast treasure vault—its contents were never lacking in Five Elements rarities. These are merely small items; the real treasures are still to come. One day, Sister Jiang Lan will learn exactly what lies in my vault."
